CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the New York Knicks, 104-101, Monday night in Madison Square Garden. This was not just another game in an NBA regular season sometimes knocked as nothing more a drawn-out tuneup for the playoffs.

The Cavs roared back from a deficit that had ballooned to 23 late in the third quarter and still was 15 early in the fourth. The Cavs outscored the Knicks, 43-25, in the fourth.

LeBron James did King James things in money time, but he had plenty of help. Kyle Korver was "Mr. Fourth Korver,'' Dwyane Wade made an assortment of winning plays and J.R. Smith defended with gusto.
